I used to work in the banking industry, not in BPI, and I have extensive knowledge of how banks process transactions and how to secure their systems
All banks have online servers and backend processes that process "end of day" transactions, usually called batch processing
I can only think of two scenarios and hacking/security breach is not one of them
1. Operator error: batch processing file was processed two or more times that resulted in the double posting of transactions
2. Test transactions done on production server that resulted in the double posting
some of my friends complained about money lost while one reported her account now has billions
don't worry folks, you'll get your money back
if you noticed added funds, don't withdraw it
as for me, I don't have much money in my 19 year old BPI account but I have sizeable amount in bank loan from them :)
lastly, only someone from IT or BPI ATM Center operations knows the real issue and I doubt if it will be released to the public even if BSP comes in
definitely, heads will roll in the fiasco, some already updating resumes and job vacancies to be posted soon

This just came in today where the MMDA rolled out an online inquiry system to check if a car has been tagged and issued with a traffic violation ticket via the contact-less apprehension policy
the system uses high-definition CCTVs strategically-placed at various locations and monitored 24x7 by the MMDA.
tagged vehicles will be notified of the violation then the violator can pay at the MMDA or any Metrobank branch.

BAE, that new word from urban dictionary and soon to become part of the main English dictionary (Oxford)
the trending word ‘bae’ originated in African-American English (black), a shortened form of baby or babe or the acronym which stands for ‘before anyone else.’
The word Bae became popular in social media and inclusion in the lyrics of hip-hop and R&B music like Pharrell Williams’ “Come Get It Bae”
In the Philippines, bae is used for the famous AlDub love team of Alden Rechards and Yaya Dub (Maine Mendoza) and the the new contest That's My Bae
